Chapter 121
byWhen the fist and palm intersected, a gentle hidden force rushed into Yang Kai’s body and flowed along the meridians. It made Yang Kai’s vitality operation become slow, as if under the power of the Clear Wind Palm, the meridians of the arm were all soft and limp.
Nie Yong grinned grimly： “Yang Kai, today I will cripple one of your arms as a small lesson for you！”
Suddenly, a fierce and fierce look flashed across Yang Kai’s face. The vitality in his body surged violently, resisting the invasion of the Clear Wind Palm force, and actually making Nie Yong’s plan fall through in an instant.
“You still dare to resist！” Nie Yong gritted his teeth, feeling ashamed that he failed to take Yang Kai down with one move. He slapped out another palm and taunted, “Although your Yuan Qi is quite strong, your strength is too weak！ Let’s see how you can resist！”
Once again, a gentle breeze blew, but this time, there was an undercurrent hidden within the wisps of breeze. Apparently, there were still subsequent changes.
Yang Kai no longer held back. The thirty-six meridians in his body surged, and the results of a day’s hard cultivation were show at this moment.
Blazing Sun Explosion！
“I told you your strength is too weak！” Nie Yong sneered again and again. Before his words fell, the gentle palm force suddenly turned into a violent stormy wave, surging towards Yang Kai with irresistible force. It seemed that he was determined to really cripple one of Yang Kai’s arms.
Yang Kai’s Blazing Sun Explosion also burst at the same time.
With a loud boom, a ball of fire burst out, and made the area within a few zhang as bright as day so dazzling that people couldn’t open their eyes.
“What?” Nie Yong was shocked. His Clear Wind Palm had hidden a huge killing move, but he didn’t expect that Yang Kai’s seemingly ordinary fist was also the same. The two people’s methods were strikingly similar. When the palm wind and fist force burst out, they were actually evenly matched.
Two dull hums rang out. Nie Yong’s body staggered back and only stopped when it was blocked by a big tree more than ten zhang away. He couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood and spat it out with a ‘wow’. He was actually quite seriously injured.
Yang Kai on the other side was not much better off. His strength was six or seven small levels lower than Nie Yong’s. It was already rare that he could rely on the power of his martial skills to exchange a move. Since Nie Yong was injured, how could he be safe？
But he didn’t show the slightest sign of decline. With one move repelling Nie Yong, the bones in his body creaked. A warm current poured into his whole body and his Yuan Qi surged violently.
With the speed like wind and thunder, he threw four punches in a row at the four people surrounding him. Four groups of firelight burst out simultaneously. The fierce rolls up air waves and killing power shocked everyone.
These four people had higher strength than Nie Yong. Yang Kai was also in a hurry to make a move, so naturally he couldn’t hurt them.
But after they blocked the moves, Yang Kai’s figure had disappeared in front of their eyes.
From a distance, Yang Kai’s voice came over： “Nie Yong, the next time we meet, I will definitely take your life！”
The voice was erratic, and it was actually impossible to tell in which direction Yang Kai had fled.
“Junior Brother Nie！” One person quickly looked towards Nie Yong and saw blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, with thick unwillingness flashing in his eyes. There was also a hint of dread, and his complexion was not very good.
“Are you all right？”
“I’m fine！” Nie Yong forced himself to stand up： “Yang Kai is injured. Hurry up and chase. We mustn’t let him escape.”
“Still chase?” Someone couldn’t help but hesitate in their expression. Speaking of which, they didn’t have any holidays with Yang Kai. They came here just to cheer for Nie Yong and make a show for Xie Hongchen. Now that the person has run away, why chase after him? In these high mountains and steep mountains who knows what kind of dangers are hidden inside. What if they encounter one or two powerful monster beasts. Wouldn’t all of them be doomed?
Nie Yong noticed the change in the attitudes of the four people and quickly said： “Several senior brothers have also seen the power of the martial skill he used, right？ That’s what he obtained a few days ago！ Relying on this martial skill, he was actually able to injure me. Don’t several of you feel tempted？”
Hearing him say this, the expressions of several Lingxiao Pavilion disciples all perked up.
After hesitating for a moment, one person said： “Then let’s chase. But let’s make it clear first, we are only for that martial skill. Whatever grudges you have with Yang Kai, solve them yourself and don’t involve us. Whether you want to kill him or cripple him, bear all the consequences yourself.”
“Naturally!” Nie Yong’s expression was ferocious as he cursed, “How dare he threaten me! Damn it, how dare he threaten me! What kind of thing are you? You still want to take my life! Don’t let me catch you, or else we’ll see who takes whose life!”
After saying that, he chased out first. The other four people looked at each other and all felt that Yang Kai was probably doomed. If he was really caught up by Nie Yong this time, his life would definitely not be saved！
Nie Yong had already moved to kill！
Just beside the small lake where Lan Chudie and Du Yishuang had bathed before, Yang Kai finally couldn’t hold his breath and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although he had just escaped a disaster, the danger in that moment of the fight could not be understood by anyone other than Yang Kai.
These people were all genuine Qi-moving Realm cultivators. The weakest one, Nie Yong, was already at the fourth level of the Qi-moving Realm, and the strongest one was probably at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi-moving Realm.
They were simply not comparable to the enemies he had encountered in the Nine Yin Valley. It could be said that any one of them was almost equivalent to Wen Feichen whose cultivation had been sealed that day.
If it weren’t for the sudden killing move like the Blazing Sun Blast, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to escape their encirclement either.
Five punches, clashing with five different people. Five kinds of hidden strengths were rushed into his body. Leaving aside the injuries for the time being, those five kinds of hidden strengths were flowing around in his meridians, making his own vitality unable to circulate smoothly. If he didn’t find a safe place as soon as possible to resolve these hidden strengths, I’m afraid there would be hidden dangers.
The pursuers behind were getting closer and closer. Yang Kai bent down, buried the blood he spat out on the spot, and then plunged headfirst into the lake.
Yang Kai didn’t know if there would be danger in the jungle, but in his current state, once he encountered any danger, I’m afraid he would have no power to fight back. So he could only return along the original path. Only this path that he had walked through was the safest.
And this lake was also the best place to hide. If Nie Yong and those people didn’t dare to come down and investigate, it was naturally what Yang Kai wanted to see. If they dared to come down and investigate, they would also have to face Yang Kai’s counterattack.
Holding his breath, Yang Kai dived down into the lake, hiding his body in the darkness.
This lake was very large, but Yang Kai didn’t expect it to be so deep. He had dived down for more than ten zhang and still hadn’t reached the bottom of the lake. Instead, the water below was getting colder and colder, piercing to the bone.
Not daring to swim any further, Yang Kai just hovered in the water, listening intently to the movement above.
Sure enough, a moment later, Nie Yong and the others chased after him here. Although Yang Kai had tried his best to hide his tracks along the way, these people had an instinct, and there was also Nie Yong who had been with Yang Kai for several days leading the team.
The voices of several people came from the lake, and then someone jumped down immediately.
Yang Kai’s complexion sank. He didn’t expect these people to be so decisive, or rather, he underestimated Nie Yong’s hatred for him.
Forced to do so, Yang Kai could only continue to dive down.
The surrounding lake water was ice-cold. Fortunately, Yang Kai cultivated the True Yang Art. The warm True Yang Yuan Qi flowed through his whole body, and this bit of coldness was not in the way.
The person who jumped into the lake swam around the lake, searched for a while, found nothing, and didn’t dare to go too deep rashly. So he climbed up again.
After searching around for a while, Nie Yong and the others finally left this place.
Yang Kai was suffocating underwater until he felt dizzy. Although he had now reached the seventh layer of the Kaiyuan Realm and his breath was much longer than that of ordinary people, there was also a limit.
Now it was almost at the limit. If those people didn’t leave, things might become very troublesome.
Just as Yang Kai was about to swim upstream, a burst of whooshing sound suddenly came to his ears.
Hearing this movement, Yang Kai immediately became alert and looked around. But he found nothing.
Moments later, another gust of whooshing sound came, and that sound seemed like wind.
Strange, where does the wind come from at the bottom of the lake？
With suspicion, Yang Kai looked in the direction of the source of the wind, swept his eyes, and his expression couldn’t help but perk up. Then he fiddled with the lake water and swam downward.
He discovered that there was a dark hole at the bottom of the lake.
He came to the side of the hole and listened carefully. Sure enough, there was a faint sound of whistling wind coming.
Yang Kai’s eyes flickered. He was sure that there must be a waterless space at the other end of this black hole. And it was also a way out. Otherwise, there couldn’t be any wind coming.
After thinking for a while, Yang Kai plunged down and swam into the black hole.
Nie Yong and the others must still be searching outside. If Yang Kai went out now, although he could be safe for a while, there was still a risk of being searched. It was better to go into this black hole and explore. If his guess was correct, then there would be a safe place to hide.
This black hole was very long, probably more than a hundred zhang. It first spread downward, then it was a straight corridor, and finally it went all the way up. Just when Yang Kai’s breath was almost used up, he finally surfaced.
Reaching out and wiping the flowing water on his face, Yang Kai turned his head and looked around, and found that things were indeed as he guessed. The place where this black hole led to was an empty space.
This should be a cave. Yang Kai had noticed before that there was a mountain peak beside the small lake. The black hole at the bottom of the lake should be connected to a cave in this mountain peak. The wind blew into the cave, and the whistling sound was transmitted to the bottom of the lake through the black hole, so he had noticed it.
The cave was extremely dry. There were some stalactites hanging upside down on the top, like a handle of a long spear.
Jumping out of the water and checking around a little, Yang Kai felt much more at ease.
There were no traces of any living beings moving here, so it should be very safe.
Relaxing, Yang Kai was covered in exhaustion. He quickly sat cross-legged, to dry his clothes and then began to expel the hidden strength that the five people had hit into his body.
Their strength was much higher than his, so Yang Kai couldn’t expel these hidden strengths in the first place. If it was an enemy of equal strength, there would be no need to worry about these problems.
This was also Yang Kai. The vitality in his body was vigorous and pure. Even if he was invaded by hidden strength, as long as he resolved it in time, there would be no hidden dangers. If it was another martial artist at the seventh level of the Kaiyuan Realm, he could only wait for these hidden strengths to erode his meridians.
Therefore, among martial artists, those with higher strength had the absolute ability to control the life and death of those with lower strength.
After a full hour and more, Yang Kai opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. With the spitting out of the black blood, the hidden danger in his body was also completely resolved.
His expression was a bit weak, but there was no longer that obstructive feeling in his meridians.
Clear Wind Palm！
Yang Kai remembered that when Nie Yong made his move, someone had once commented on the martial skill he used. The power of this martial skill was really not small, especially the subsequent changes, like a violent stormy sea, exactly the same as the changes of his own Blazing Sun Explosion.
It was just that the power of the Clear Wind Palm was still slightly inferior to that of the Blazing Sun Explosion. Otherwise, he simply wouldn’t have been able to fight Nie Yong to a draw.
